Important Notices

🦠 Flu Season Reminder

As we move into the colder months, flu season is approaching. To help keep our school community healthy, we ask families to please be mindful of symptoms and take appropriate action.

If your child is experiencing any flu-like symptoms (listed below), please keep them home until symptoms have resolved.

• Fever or chills 

• Cough 

• Sore throat 

• Body aches 

• Fatigue 

We often find that students who attend school while unwell need to be sent home, which can be disruptive for both the student and their learning.

Thank you for your support in helping to reduce the spread of illness and keep our community safe.

💧 Food and Hydration Reminder

Maintaining regular food intake and hydration remains important throughout the school day, even during the cooler months. At times, students attend Medical/First Aid feeling unwell due to not having eaten enough or having limited fluid intake, which can lead to headaches, dizziness, or nausea.

Where possible, families are encouraged to support their child by:

• Encouraging a simple breakfast before school

• Providing sufficient food for the day

• Reminding students to bring and use their water bottles

These small measures can support students to remain focused, energised, and ready to learn.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Medical Team at medical@mscw.vic.edu.au or 5623 5944.

Have your contact details or family circumstances changed?

If your contact details or family circumstances have changed — including updates to emergency contacts — please let the College know. Keeping your information current ensures we can reach you when needed.

To update your details, contact College reception by phone or email.

Drop Off and Pick Up Reminder

To ensure the safety of all students and ease congestion during busy times, we ask that families use the designated drop-off and pick-up bay on Lilleys Road.

❌ The Burke Street entrance is our main bus access point and becomes heavily congested. Please avoid using this area during peak times.

• The Visitor and Staff parking near Administration is for pre-arranged appointments only and not for drop-off or pick-up.

• The Hall car park is for staff parking only and is not a drop-off area.

   

Thank you for helping us keep our school safe and running smoothly.
